Happy π Day, LocalEaters. Allow me to be the millionth blogger
to use this day of 3/14 as a flimsy excuse to write about that
crusty, goo-filled wonderment: pie. It should probably have its own
week or month, rather than having to split a day with an inedible
irrational number, but so it goes. In honor of this crusty holiday,
our staff and friends weighed in with some of their favorite
non-pizza pies nationwide.

Despite the overwhelming dominance of shameless plugs,
humblebrags and baffling tweetspeak that only 12-16 year-olds
understand, Twitter still hosts an abundance of relevant, useful
and humorous food and restaurant related content. Here's a handful
of this week's best tweets. Speaking of self-promotion, feel free
to follow us @LocalEaters.

Sarah J. Gim (@the delicious): "New
kitchen has two ovens. it's like theyre mocking my inability to
bake." Sort of a first world problem, but we've all felt like our
kitchen appliances are taunting us at one time or another.

Paul F. Tompkins (@PFTompkins) live
tweeted the Oscars: "The mac & cheese commercial with Seymour
Cassell is the best movie of the year so far." No argument here. Watch it.

Kyle Kinane (@kylekinane): On
yipster dining habits: "Hipsters are the new yuppies then, right?
'Hot new' music sounds like Phil Collins and everyone wants to go
to vegan fusion restaurants."

Sam Sifton (@SamSifton): The NY
Times editor mourns his favorite rapper with some choice
food-related lyrics. "RIP Biggie: 'Come to spread the butter lyrics
over hominy grits.' " Another user's follow up is worth
noting: "that was method man though, old white guy." Close enough …
Biggie's name is still on the song (and he clearly was no stranger
to butter).

Anthony Bourdain (@noreservations)
weighs in on the Olive Garden review that went viral. "Very much
enjoying watching Internet sensation Marilyn Hagerty triumph over
the snarkologists (myself included)." We laughed and rolled our
eyes. We reconsidered when we realized everyone reacted the same
way. We now have her back. An emotionally taxing day on the
interwebs.

Lucky Peach (@LuckyPeach): "I think
I just got criticized by a fortune cookie. http://t.co/C1uy8tCY" It bodes
better than the dreaded empty fortune cookie.

Scotty L. (@MarylandMudflap):
"I'm lookin for capitalists to invest in a
new restaurant! No 'menu' yet, but every
night I'm gonna fall down stairs with a full tea service." This
would be the first legitimately entertaining dinner theater in the
world.

Tim Siedell (@badbanana): On the
lack of advancement in breakfast innovation: "We have enough
breakfast items for the toaster now, food scientists. Move on to
the car heater vent."
